“I Was Thinking It Would Have A Horseman Baby.” Forget The Rest Of The Title, You’ve Already Clicked
This story is a bit old, but when old stories are this story, age ain’t nothin’ but a number, my friends. Clearly, Andrew Mendoza is a lot of things. And for both better and worse, honest to a fault appears to be one of them. In a statement given to a sergeant with the Wharton …
We Live In A Busy Society, So It’s Nice Of The Fireworks People To Get Things Over With Quickly
Remember that time when 18 minutes worth of San Diego fireworks display went off in 15 seconds? Apparently 2012 was a bad year for that, because here’s video of something similar happening in Scotland a few months later. This one was said to have been the result of a rocket misfiring and bouncing into all …
They’re Coming! They’re Coming!
I’m imagining a time in the not so distant future when I accidentally introduce something I’ve written myself as if Gill wrote it. This is not yet that time, because this is yet another contribution from her. On this date in 1938 the masses gathered around their radios, for the usual Sunday night after dinner …
So I Had My Eyes Ultrasounded Yesterday
My eye ultrasound was yesterday, and since you’re reading this so soon, it means I didn’t die or get seriously maimed during the process. Yay! I was a little worried about things in the days leading up to it just because I didn’t know what to expect. I can handle different types of doctor induced …

Do You Ever Feel Already Buried Deep Six Feet Under? Scream But No One Seems To Hear A Thing. Do You Know That There’s Still A Chance For You…If You Just Rethink The Torch Idea
Remember when you were growing up and all those teachers and parents and grandparents kept telling you to live your life straight and narrow? The reason they kept saying that is because sometimes the alternative is dying widely scattered in all directions, and they wanted better for you. Two men were killed in an explosion …
Turning 34
I think Gill may need her own blog at this point. She just sent this in to wish herself a happy birthday. Happy birthday from us here, too. In ancient times 34 was similar to that of 100 today, meaning it was a rare milestone, and few reached it. Flash forward to the world of …
How To Opt Out Of Bell’s New Everything Tracking And A Few Other Items Of Interest
Yesterday we learned of Bell’s plan to track the crap out of many of the services you pay them a king’s ransom for and then sell your usage patterns to whomever it chooses. Since then, a few things have happened. Several people have complained, which is nice. I don’t know how many, but it was …
